In the two equations below, solve for $x$ and $y$ and choose the correct relation. I. $x^{2} - 6 x + 8 = 0$
II. $y^{2} - 10 y + 24 = 0$

Competition practiceQuadratic Comparison

A $x < y$
B $x$ ≥ $y$
C $x$ ≤ $y$
D $x > y$

Step-by-Step Solution

x = 2

or 4 and

y = 4

or 6; every

x

value is at most every

y

value with equality at 4, so

x

≤

y

.

Answer: C)

x

≤

y
